Betty returns to star in a famous but tricky tongue twister about a bit of bitter butter. This twists the brain almost as much as it does the tongue.
Betty bought a bit of butter but the bit of butter Betty bought was bitter so Betty bought a better bit of butter and the batter was better

lol so funny story i like it. hahahahah
I like this one, but Natasha says it differently than it’s worded here. Oops.
I like the tongue twister because I can listen to the oral.
The version I know is: “Betty bought a bit of butter for her batter, but the bit of butter made her batter bitter. So Betty bought a bit of better butter for her bitter batter and the bit of better butter made her bitter batter better!
